Hemobilia Induced by Gall Bladder Polyps

Single-Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gall Bladder Polyps

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) was introduced to improve patients' postoperative quality of life and cosmesis over the conventional approach (CLC). The purpose of this case-control study was to compare the outcome of SPLC with that of CLC in a specific disease: gall bladder (GB) polyps. METHODS Eligible for the study were all patients with GB polyps ...

Imaging of gall bladder by endoscopic ultrasound

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is considered a superior investigation when compared to conventional ultrasonography for imaging gall bladder (GB) lesions as it can provide high-resolution images of small lesions with higher ultrasound frequencies. Examination of GB is frequently the primary indication of EUS imaging. Imaging during EUS may not remain restricted to one station and multi-statio...

Cholesterol absorption by the gall bladder.

Model and real biles were used to investigate factors influencing cholesterol and dextran (70,000 molecular weight) absorption by the gall bladder. Cholesterol absorption was proportional to cholesterol concentration when real bile was used, but model biles showed maximal absorption at cholesterol saturation. Reduction of temperature reduced cholesterol absorption and serosal secretion, but had...

Mucus synthesis by the human gall bladder.

Septate gall bladder.

A 5-year-old girl child was admitted with complaints of fever, nonbilious vomiting and anorexia. The child weighed 15.5 Kg and the height was 91 cm. On examination she had no dysmorphic features, moderate dehydration, pallor, icterus and a tender hepatomegaly of 3 cm. On investigation, the hemoglobin was 9.8 g/dl and total leukocyte count 14,500 cells/cu mm. Total bilirubin was 3.6 mg/dl with a...
